‘Moana 2’ rides box office wave again, ‘Wicked’ flies behind

Moana 2 is riding a wave of box office success that just won’t quit.

The Disney animated sequel brought in $8.5 million at this box office this past weekend; nearly 50% down from last weekend but still good enough for first place. It’s domestic haul to date is over $337 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

Coming in second place for the second week in a row was Wicked: Part 1, with just under $7.3 million, followed by one of this week’s new releases: Marvel’s Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ariana DeBose. It brought in just under $2.5 million.

Another new release, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim — an anime film set more than 180 years before Peter Jackson‘s The Lord of the Rings trilogy — came in sixth place with 1.1 million.
